Donizetti: L'elisir d'amore / Act 2 - "Una furtiva lagrima" (original)

Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunt?
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembr?
Che pi?
cercando io vo?
M’ama, lo vedo
Un solo istante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir
I miei sospir confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir
Cielo, si pu?
morir
Di pi?
non chiedo

(translation)

A furtive tear
Was it in her eyes?
Those festive young people
To envy it seemed?
What more?
looking for I go?
He loves me, I see it
A single moment the heartbeats
To hear of her beautiful heart
My sighs confuse
For a little while to his sighs
Heaven, can you?
die
More?
I don't ask
